The BMW 3 SERIES (1998-06) 318CI 2DR CONVERTIBLE 2.0 AUTO REV 03 is a compact, four-seat soft-top from BMW’s executive range. In the UK used market, it bridges practical family saloons and pricier premium convertibles, offering open-air motoring in a familiar everyday-sized car. Mycarcheck.com records 13 look-ups covering eight distinct VINs, a modest sample, so treat figures as a guide rather than a full market picture. Checks show an average private-sale value of £1,200, recorded mileage of 90,000 miles and annual use of 2,000 miles. Cars averaged 4.3 previous keepers. Best suited to couples or drivers wanting a stylish weekend car, it can manage everyday journeys, though rear-seat access and boot space are limited. Its classic styling, folding roof and relaxed automatic appeal distinguish it from mainstream rivals, while BMW’s engaging road feel is a class strength. At this age, condition matters: check roof operation and service history before buying.
